Aston Villa 3 West Ham 0
That was one of the best team performances I've seen in years.
I could try and single out Marc Albrighton for a fantastic display, or maybe Ciaran Clark for popping Carlton Cole into his pocket and looking like he's been in the first-team for years.
Maybe Stuart Downing's best display since arriving, Petrov's urgency, Ashley Young's skill and workrate. Luke Young being rock-like in his rightful position and also getting forward. James Milner's performance which ended with him getting a standing ovation. John Carew who got nothing from an awful referee but still should have scored a couple at least.
We played like a team and we looked happy.
Apart from a spell at the start of the 2nd half (when the thunder and lightning arrived) we dominated West Ham who were lucky to get away with three. It was one of the best and most enjoyable games I've seen in a long time. For the first half alone, Kevin MacDonald should be allowed to continue in this job for the season at least.
The available names for our job fills me with utter dread. The way we played today suggested a very happy camp with him at the helm.
Lucky mascot Daniel was with me too today - that's 3 visits to Villa Park and wins with no goals conceded. He was even happy to brave the swirling rain with me while others ran away - it was a great day and he loved it!
